Thanks for the post. I bought Z77A-G45 based on suggestion here, and can confirm the NIC works out of the box. VT-d works for the onboard USB3.0 controller and a PCI-e SATA RAID card.
On the other hand, I have been struggling ot passthrough video, like many others posting on this thread VMDirectPath and ATI Radeon (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/297072?start=0&tstart=0). I have tried two different video cards, both failed to passthrough.
